The Double Ponytail

step one: Prep hair with straight and smooth spray

Spritz ghd straight & smooth spray onto your tresses. It’s the perfect product when it comes to creating straight hairstyles, helping create a smooth finish.

step two: Dry the product with a hairdryer and paddle brush

Use the ghd air® hairdryer and ghd paddle brush to dry the product through your tresses. This will leave hair smooth, silky and ready to style.

Tip: Use the nozzle to help direct the airflow of your hairdryer and achieve a shinier finish.

step three: Create a centre parting

Use the point of your ghd tail comb to part your hair straight down the middle, leaving two equal amounts of hair on either side.

step four: Brush hair into pigtails

Use the ghd oval dressing brush to create two high, tight pigtails above your ears. Secure in place with a hair elastic.

step five: Take elastic and place at the base of one of your pigtail

This elastic will be used to tie the pigtail into a tight, straight bunch - ready for your hair extension to be wrapped around it.

step six: Tie elastic in a criss-cross down pigtail

Starting from the base, twist the elastic around and down the pigtail. This will twist hair into a tight bunch and keep it secured. Tie the elastic in a knot at the end to secure it.

step seven: Glide styler through your extensions 

Create a smooth, straight hairstyle by running the ghd gold® styler from the top to the ends of your hair extensions. Choose ones that match the colour of your hair for a flawless finish. 

step eight: Wind extensions up pigtail, securing as you go

Take one side of your hair extension and, starting from the bottom, wind it around the pigtail. Secure it as you work your way up at every fourth wind with a small hair grip.

step nine: Secure your extension at the top of your pigtail

Once you reach the top of your pigtail, secure the extension in place with a hair grip.  

step ten: Wrap a piece of hair around the pony

Create a truly flawless finish for this double ponytail hairstyle by taking a 1-inch piece of hair and wrapping it around the base of the pigtail. This will make it sit proud from the head, resulting in a bold look.  

step eleven: Spray with final fix hairspray

Rather than using a pin or clip, spray the wrapped hair with ghd final fix hairspray to secure it in place.

step twelve: Rub your styler plates on the hairspray

Rub the ghd gold® styler plates over the hairspray for a secure and high gloss vinyl finish.

step thirteen: Repeat steps 5-12 on the other side of your head

Create the same look on the other side of your head, following the steps above again.

step fourteen: Spray shine spray on your fingers or a brush

Spritz ghd final shine spray onto your fingers or a ghd oval paddle brush.

step fifteen: Smooth down flyaways

Use your fingers or the brush to gently tame any flyaways and achieve a flawless, glossy finish.
